The initiative itself looked to provide gifts to two hospital trusts in South London, St George’s University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Tooting, located close to three of our Detachments and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Denmark Hill, where members of our company work.
Due to the lockdown put in place in November the initiative had to be adapted from gift donations as we were unable to meet in person to collect gifts, we did manage to receive a huge amount of gifts delivered from donations collected by our amazing staff and wider ACF family. In addition we also raised over £1,000 donated by cadets, parents, friends, family, work colleagues, our followers on social media, our staff and the wider military commuinty. The effort and generosity of everyone helped us to purchase even more gifts meaning we ended up with well over 100 presents to be donated between the hospitals.
